However, the battery eventually died. One day it simply wouldn’t turn on. The LEDs would light up when plugged in, but it would shut off right after being unplugged. After taking it apart, I discovered the charging module in the battery pack was faulty. This component regulates the charging current and also supplies power to the massage gun. While the batteries were charged, the board was non-functional, rendering the device useless.

Rather than buying a new battery pack, I found this massage gun for a comparable price. I had low expectations since most reputable massagers cost around three times this one, but the consistent positive reviews encouraged me to take a chance.

The package arrived quickly (same-day delivery is fantastic!), and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and finish, which seemed comparable to the more expensive unit it replaced. It charges via USB-C, which is convenient since I have a lot of those cables handy. My previous gun used a power supply with a DC barrel connector, which, while sturdy, is less common.

I charged it and tried it on one of my hips, which had been bothering me lately. While I didn’t expect an instant miracle, it performed similarly in power to my old massage gun, which is impressive given the price. I believe it will do the job well.

It has only seven speed settings compared to the thirty of my previous device, but honestly, I don’t think I need that many—maybe not even seven. It comes with various massage heads, but I’ll likely stick to using just a few. The ones I tried have worked well so far.

From my observations and other reviews, it seems that most massagers—regardless of price—tend to last a couple of years before their batteries or charging boards fail. I’m not inclined to invest heavily in one, especially since this one already performs adequately. If you’re considering a massage gun but are unsure about the low price, don’t hesitate. Go ahead, buy it, and simply replace it if the battery eventually gives out.

UPDATE:
I’ve had this massage gun for a few weeks now and have used it more than I expected. I’ve been dealing with some leg pain likely caused by weightlifting and riding my motorcycle. The discomfort starts in my hip/glute area and extends down to my knee, so I’ve been targeting my glute, the iliac region of my back, and my IT band. Along with some stretching, the pain is gradually subsiding, and it’s no longer keeping me up at night.

Interestingly, all the attachments from my old massage gun fit this one, so the interface appears fairly standard. Now I have more massage heads than I know what to do with, as I typically use the same four or five regardless of the pain location.

I use this device quite aggressively, digging in to relieve spasming muscles and painful spots. It’s not always a pleasant experience, but it works— I usually feel immediate relief, and the overall pain decreases with repeated use. Getting better requires effort, but enduring pain is even tougher, so I brace myself for a few minutes of intense therapy and reward myself afterward with a bit of bourbon (medicinal, of course).

I’ve never let the battery drop below two-thirds, even with heavy use, and I’m genuinely impressed with its performance, especially for the price. It shows no signs of malfunctioning, but if it ever does, I’ll likely buy another. It really works!

After using it for about a week with 10-minute sessions, I am genuinely impressed by its quality and power. I’ve been using the lowest speed setting, “1,” which is sufficient for my needs, but it has up to “7” if you prefer a more intense experience. The device features a convenient on/off battery switch at the bottom, as well as a touch screen for easy control of the power and speed settings. It comes with a sturdy case and various attachments to target specific muscle areas, though I’m still experimenting to see which ones I prefer.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and its price point. The battery life is excellent, and the build quality feels solid. My only minor complaint is its weight, which is close to 2lbs. While it isn’t heavy at first, holding it for a few minutes can tire your hands, but I simply switch hands or target different muscle areas to manage that. I would definitely recommend this massager.

The USB rechargeability is exceptionally convenient, allowing me to power it up using various sources like my laptop, power bank, or car charger. The battery life is remarkable, offering several sessions on a single charge, which is ideal for frequent use throughout the week.

With 10 different massage heads, I can easily address various muscle groups and specific needs. Each head is simple to replace, and the variety ensures I can effectively target different areas, from larger muscle groups to more precise spots like my neck and feet.

The build quality is impressive, featuring a comfortable grip that makes it easy to maneuver during use. It operates quietly, which is a great advantage when using it in shared spaces or late at night.

In summary, this massage gun has surpassed my expectations in performance, versatility, and convenience. It has become an indispensable tool for alleviating muscle soreness, improving recovery, and promoting relaxation. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a high-quality, feature-rich massage gun.
